Willow Bridge Coat of Arms Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Jeff and Vicky Dewar established Willow Bridge Estate after acquiring a spectacular 180ha hillside property in the Ferguson Valley, a sub region of Geographe. Under winemaker Kim Horton, many of its wines offer exceptional value for money. James Halliday rated their beautiful winery among his ‘Best Wineries of 2014’ and ‘Dark Horse Wineries of 2013’ Their website calls The Coat of Arms, an expression of the deep dark fruit characters we attain in the region, rich and smooth with lashings of chocolate entwined with secondary characters of oak and black olive, while it was a 'great' vintage for Cabernet Sauvignon. "A stylish and most elegantly refined cabernet with a distinctive varietal expression of blackcurrant and leafy plum with a little olive tapenade" (Ray Jordan). "An elegant, well-balanced, medium-weight affair with distinct blue fruits, herbal lift, sea spray and light, chocolate powder tannins combining. There's a succulence here, a refreshment factor, a cool line and restraint. Underlying, savouriness of woody spice, turned earth and briny minerality. The finish a building, mouth-watering pucker. Spot on. 93pts" {Mike Bennie, The Halliday Wine Companion).
